Friends have also paid tribute, adding: “If only the world was full of people like him, what a better, kinder place it would be."

Meanwhile, the investigation into Mr Stevenson’s death is continuing as officers from the Major Collision Enquiry Team seek to establish what happened in the accident.

They are particularly interested in hearing from the drivers of a silver-coloured Vauxhall Corsa and a mid-blue coloured vehicle.

Sergeant Ann Drury said: “Tony’s death has obviously left a massive gap in his family and they miss him dearly.

“I would appeal for any witnesses or anyone who can provide information about what happened to come forward, especially the drivers of the Vauxhall Corsa and the mid-blue coloured vehicle, the make and model of which is unknown.

“Both vehicles travelled down Hill House Edge Lane and turned right at the junction with Hebden Bridge Road (towards Oxenhope).

“We would like to speak to either driver as they may be able to help us with our enquiries.”

Anyone with any further information on the vehicles is urged to call 101.
